As per Page Six the Brooklyn, NY native paid a recent visit to the Drew Barrymore Show where she discussed a variety of topics relating to her storied career. Midway during the interview the White Men Can’t Jump star spoke about her friendship with the late great Tupac Shakur. She went on to say that she was the one who introduced him to Madonna. Perez stated that her original date to the 1993 Soul Train Music Awards cancelled on her 30 minutes before the event. Luckily 2Pac stepped up and escorted her to ceremony. “He said, ‘You know what, I’m going [to] go with you, we’re going [to] walk up in there, we’re going [to] act like we’re on a date, and he’s going to die,’” she explained.

While at the awards show Madonna checked in with her and asked about Pac. “She was there and she came up to me and she was like, ‘Yo, what’s up? Y’all are together?’” Rosie added. “And I said, ‘No.’ She goes, ‘Really?’ I go, ‘Yeah.’” The “Material Girl” singer asked then asked Rosie Perez to “hook [her] up,” to which she replied You got it.” Madonna and 2Pac briefly dated from 1993 to 1994 but kept their relationship relatively secret. It wasn’t until many years later the self proclaimed Queen of Pop admitted the two were an official item.
